Nordkapp: 2 Bedroom Short Term Rental in Tofte MN (38432)

Nordkapp is a year-round cabin in Tofte, Minnesota on the Minnesota North Shore of Lake Superior. It sleeps up to 5 across 2 sleeping areas and includes 1 full bathroom plus a half bath. A key differentiator is its Lake Superior setting with a private viewing deck; the home is noted for unobstructed views, but it does not provide lake access. After a day of exploring the North Shore, the on-site sauna and woodstove-style fireplace setup support a comfortable, indoors-focused evening.

The layout places a queen bedroom on the main level, with a half bath attached, plus a separate main-level full bath with a shower/tub. Additional sleeping is in an open loft with three twin beds (no door). The kitchen is equipped for self-catering with cookware and flatware, and conveniences include a dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, and washer/dryer. Entertainment and connectivity features include internet access, TV, DVD, and a radio/stereo/Bluetooth speaker system. Outdoor features include a grill and seasonal deck/patio or balcony furnishings. Winter travelers should note that 4WD/AWD is recommended in winter, and daytime construction noise may occur into summer 2026 due to a neighboring build.

We came up in a snow storm in the dark and had some trouble finding Nordkapp so we called the emergency number. The staff person on call answered immediately, asked a few questions and was able to straighten us out. She knew exactly where we were and how to get us to Nordkapp, quickly. Great service.
